FISH ACCESS
UPPER MISSION CREEK

The upper reaches of Thain Creek and Mission Creek have not been accessible to salmon for several decades.

Culverts and catch basins at the road crossings above Queens blocked access.

The remaining barrier to salmon reaching this area is the culvert at Evergreen.
Salmon will not be able to spawn in the upper reaches of Mission Creek or Thain Creek until this culvert is replaced or modified.

Above Cartelier, upstream at Madeley, the gradient becomes too steep for fish to travel further.

	Cartelier Culvert Replacement Project ---- main stream District of North Vancouver 2000 Voluntary The District of North Vancouver replaced the old culvert at Cartelier. A new fish-passable culvert links fish habitat on either side. There is good salmonid habitat in this section of the creek. However, only trout are found.

	Windsor Culvert Replacement Project ---- main stream District of North Vancouver 2010 Voluntary The District of North Vancouver replaced the old culvert at Windsor. A new fish-passable culvert links fish habitat on either side.
